Where a single mother had stabbed to death a man who lived on the same estate and who had been charged with sexual assault on her children, a sentence of 42 months’ imprisonment for manslaughter by reason of loss of control had been unduly lenient and was replaced by a sentence of seven-and-a-half years.

A sentence of 8 years’ imprisonment was the correct starting point for an offence of rape where there were aggravating features of the use of a knife, a degree of planning, a persistence of attack and previous convictions.
